THIS PENGUIN WITH A BACKPACK.

THIS TRACKABLE TURTLE HATCHLING.

OH HAI turtle hatchling with a nanoacoustic tracking tag. I am sure tracking “frenzy” swimming from the beach where you hatched to deep water resulted in the most adorable science ever.

CAN’T. CONTAIN. THE. SQUEE.

THIS PORPOISE WITH A PURPOSE.

To spy on you protect America. Just adding another entry to the jerk list. (And yes, I know that is really a dolphin. And it is duty-bound to defend my first amendment right to use incorrect nomenclature for dramatic alliteration to the death.)

Kim is a Senior Oceanographer at Sea-Bird Scientific. She received her Ph.D. in Physical Oceanography from the University of Washington in 2010. Her goal in life is to throw expensive s**t in the ocean. When not at sea, she has used observations from moored, satellite and land-based instruments to understand the pathways that wind and tidal energy take from large (internal tides) to small scales (turbulence). Her current mission is to make your oceanographic data be the best data it can be.
